A 30-year-old gang-rape survivor was thrown from the roof of a building (approximately 15 feet) allegedly by relatives of the accused in Begusarai district of Bihar.
The incident took place on Tuesday (November 10, 2026) at Simaria Ghat Bind Toli locality under the jurisdiction of Chakia Police Station. She is currently admitted to Sadar Hospital in Begusarai.
“On the basis of the victim’s statement, the named accused Bhongal Kumar has been arrested and the police are conducting raids to arrest another unidentified accused,” Deputy Superintendent of Police (Headquarters) Begusarai Nikhil Kumar told The Hindu.
Under the supervision of the Sub Divisional Police Officer (SDPO), Sadar-02, the Chakia police team has started an investigation into the incident.
Police said the accused arrested in this case was not involved in the previous incident.
“The recent incident involves an act of physical assault. As for the previous case, four accused have already been arrested and sent to jail; one other accused has had property attachment proceedings and a reward announced. None of the accused in the previous case have been released from prison. The case is currently undergoing a fast-track trial,” Begusarai police said.
The rape took place on June 11, 2026. “Since the incident, people associated with the accused have been constantly pressurizing me to withdraw the case and threatening dire consequences,” the victim’s husband said.
The woman was admitted to hospital on the night of June 11 following the incident and was released on June 12. However, five days later she complained of pain and an ultrasound revealed wood and stones lodged in her private parts. The victim subsequently remained hospitalized for several days.
A Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed to investigate the case, which resulted in the arrest of four accused. Chakia Police Station Superintendent Ranjiv Ranjan was also suspended for negligence in duty.
